Camilla Engström Born 1989 Örebro, Sweden. Lives and works in Los Angeles, USA
Her bucolic, metaphysical landscapes celebrate the healing properties of Mother Nature. The trippy, hallucinogenic colours and voluptuous curving forms call to mind the cut-outs of Henri Matisse, while channelling the female energy of Georgia O’Keeffe, and her fellow Swede Hilma Af Klint. Hailed as both “feminist and fecund”, Engström’s art offers an uplifting riff on millennials’ preoccupations spawned by the digital realm, from body shaming to the cult of the self.
